32 Best Thai Restaurants in San Jose

“Good. Definitely be going back. Por Pia Sod & Khiew Cheese Tod, Tom Yum Soup w/ prawns, Pad Thai, Som Tum Salad and Gaeng Pa Curry. 6 items tried, 6 items enjoyed, not just by me, but rather a whole family. Small storefront, but adequate parking as it is in a Safeway parking lot.“

“If you're craving Cambodian cuisine, make sure to visit Angkor Chef, a fantastic Cambodian restaurant located in downtown San Jose. Owned by Channy Laux - Chef and her husband, they've been serving up delicious dishes for about 6 months now. Tina and I were thoroughly impressed by their excellent service and mouthwatering food. The restaurant boasts a sleek and modern design, and we particularly loved the beef skewers (សាច់គោចាកាក់). We definitely will come back for more. #supportlocalbusiness #khmerfood“

“I usually get the pad Thai medium spicy but decided to try the pad se ew medium spicy. Flavor is good, not too salty, but I wish it was a bit spicier so I'd opt for more spicy next time. They put a lot of chicken in the noodles! Quick service and they have a few tables to dine in.“

“Great Mothers Day lunch from Oros Thai. we ordered our Mothers Day treat, a delicious lunch which we ordered from Oros Thai! We got Tom Kha soup, Green curry, Pineapple Fried rice and Pad Kee Mao...everything was so perfectly flavorful and fresh! Also the portions were so generous ! Thank you for a great service !“

“Small but excellent place w really fast service. Authentic tasting Thai food . The egetabels were super fresh and crunchy. Highly recommend the khao soi, the chef was super accommodating to switch out the fried chicken with fried tofu instead. YUM.Vegetarian options: Basil tofu, Tom kha, khao soo, curries, pad thai, pad see eaw and more!“

“Great little restaurant in Willow Glen. Service was very good and the food is reasonably priced. We had wor wonton soup , Chinese chicken salad and beef chow fun. The food came Out very quickly and was hot and tasty. Really enjoyed the beef chow fun. Definitely will be back to eat here again.“

“Finally tried Thai mama for the 1st time tonight. I’m so impressed, sorry I don’t know your name but the young man taking orders was super helpful & helped me make great choices. Lots of delicious vegan options which makes a nice change. We’ll be back.“

“I miss Lao food so much and I had been wanting to try this place. It did not disappoint! The sticky rice, sausage and chicken wings with the papaya salad on the side exceeded my expectations.And they have goods to buy and take home including Jeow Bong“

“We decided to try out this place on a whim and I'm so happy we did!We called in ahead of time and the entire order took less 15min. It was a Tuesday night, an hour before closing, and wasn't busy when we arrived. In fact, we were the only patrons. TAKE OUT ONLY - There are no tables inside the establishment, so don't expect a dine-in date night unless you intend to hang out in their back parking lot and eat in your car. One interesting benefit to this restaurant is that they offer you the choice to pick your vegetables! PORTIONS & PRICING - Portions are super generous! Pricing based on quality + quantity is very reasonable compared to other places across the Bay Area.SERVICE - Based on the interactions over the phone and upon pick-up, service was pretty standard. HOUSE PAD THAI ($14) - This was absolutely *chef's kiss* delicious! It was soooo flavorful, and the noodles were just perfect. Ingredients consisted of chicken (which were abundant in quantity and size), carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, green onions, eggs, and tofu. For an additional fee you can choose other proteins. They even packed the chopped peanuts in a separate container which I really appreciated. TOM KHA SOUP ($16) - We ordered a large and the 32oz container was filled to the brim. This was also amazing! It was still piping hot when we got home and opened it. I almost burnt my lips because it was so hot. It came mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and onions. The flavors were very well balanced. PAD SEE EW ($14) - He ordered it with chicken and shrimp (+$2). I tried a little bit of it and I thought it was just ok. Nothing to write home about. He felt the same. Their standard ingredients consisted of eggs, onions, and carrots. The menu says it comes with broccoli too, but I don't recall seeing any in there.THAI MILK TEA ($5) - It was pretty good. It was sweet though. Like REALLY sweet, if you like that. I'm not sure if the sweetness level can be customized or if boba is offered for an additional fee as I didn't ask. If you're looking for a nice little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, this might be your spot! I'll definitely be coming back to try their other dishes.Don't forget to check-in for 20% off your order! :)“

“We discovered this little treasure by accident. The food was delicious. Disappointed my dish Ocean in a Coconut didn’t come in a coconut shell as described in the menu but perhaps coconuts aren’t in season. It did contain slices of coconut. My husbands mango curry chicken was to die for. Wonderfully sweet chunks of mango.“

“My first time at their restaurant. I like the diverse fusion of Thai foods from different regions of Thailand. Food looks visually appetizing but most of all the food is tasty and authentic with a modern flair. I ordered the crispy duck and the pork larb. They could do better with their Thai Iced tea. Service was great though. They come to your table every 15 minutes to refill your water glass and to ask if you need anything despite house packed with diners. Dua Lipa and Elton John singing in the background just enough to muffle next table’s lovers’ intimate whispers so you dont hear. Strategically located in a shopping plaza beside Bevmo, a pizza place and a men’s wearhouse store. Interior is cozy, hip and tasteful. I recommend dining at this place.“

“It’s not easy to find vegetarian Thai food, esp if you don’t want any fish sauce in your soup. Lana Thai was such a great find!! Their Tom Yum soup is excellent! We also really enjoyed the vegetarian Thai basil fried rice, pad see ew noodles, and Tom kha soup. Their fresh summer rolls with peanut sauce are great too- light and refreshing!“

“It was a take-out. They had my order warm and ready when I got there so happy about that. The food was delicious and I would have enjoyed it more if it was not too spicy (and I can handle reasonable spiciness). The papaya salad - which I love - was so spicy I went red in the face and had to toss 2/3 of it but the curry was more tolerable, maybe because I had it with rice. Next time, I'll ask if the can make it less spicy.“

“Oh my gosh, we love Tee Nee Thai! It’s our “go to” place for girls night out. The food is absolutely delicious and the service super friendly. Their roti is the bomb! The curries and pad see ew are fabulous too. The restaurant is cozy and tastefully decorated. Parking can be tricky. In the evening there’s some parking at the church on the side street. Another heads up, they’ve always been full when I’ve visited, but, they do take reservations. Try Tee Nee Thai and you’ll be hooked too!“

“Excellent flavors in all the dishes we ordered. Tom kha with chicken, pumpkin curry with beef, pad see eew with shrimp and eggplant basil stir fry with shrimp. The sauces were out of this world. Shrimp succulent and perfectly cooked. Only shortcomings are that the beef was a tad tough and the noodles overdone that they were completely broken up… but it was so delicious that it didn’t stop us.“

“Not being Cambodian myself, I couldn't give a review as to how authentic the food is, but the yellow curry I had was very good! Nice big portions I was super full before I even finished.Interior was kinda cold,The Thai iced tea is also very tasty. I'll be back soon to try the red curry.“

“Ordered 4 items ready in under 20 minutes and everything was delicious!! I recommend the crispy garlic shrimp, pad thai, crab fried rice and pumpkin curry! Price ranges from $15-$19 per dish. They have a small number of high tables with max total seating of about 16-18 people. I ordered to-go and the dishes were nicely packaged.“

“This Thai food restaurant tastes amazing & tastes original Thai food, the service of the waitress is helpful and nice, the inside atmosphere is not really convenient because the inside doesn't have big space and is too tight between the table and chairs.“

“Chanced upon this hole in the wall kind of restaurant across from SJSU campus, craving for some good Thai food. We ordered Thai Iced Tea, Fried Chicken over Fried Rice, Vegetarian Egg Rolls and the Lamb Curry Speciality all for $59, including a $2 extra for using Amex credit card.Lots of piping hot food, well plated and served by a sweet hostess. If not for the inside run down decor, this restaurant is worth every penny. Like they say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover…food here tastes pretty awesome if you come in hungry!“

“Always fresh & bomb. Sometimes we order this for work meetings or I pick it up for dinner for my kids & I. This particular location is close to my house however there's no parking. You have to pull up or have someone drive you to pick it up so you can run in. I usually order by phone. Rice, beans, carnitas & tortillas.“

“I can't count the amount of times I drove to Grand Century/ Vietnam Town just to grab Thai Lover.They are located in the food court of Grand Century ( go through the main entrance, make a left to go to the food court, and they're the first one). I would say the have the BEST CRAB PAD THAI.(I have also tried their vegetarian pad thai and their shrimp pad thai. I love them both). The cashier was friendly and nice. She warned me about getting the Pad Thai spicy... their spicy level got me sweaty! Good thing I got a thai tea to wash down the heat (and it was only $4!!)“

“I recommend this place!!! Food was really tasty and the owner is very nice!!! She even gave me a free Thai Iced tea. I really enjoyed the fried fish filet on the Granny Smith Apple Salad. Never heard of it before but very good. Restaurant is very clean inside. They only opened 3 weeks ago do give them a try!!!“

“Great experience ??Best place with very affordable prices to have some Thai food in San Jose downtownTried their yellow curry red curry with chicken so tastyTheir pad Thai noodles is goodThai famous Ground Chicken over rice with fried egg is signature dish best taste one need to try excellent dish I personally likedPeople should encourage them ??“

“Second time here and tried out their drunken noodles with chicken for lunch. Food was great and of large portions that everyone in my party and myself had to takeout the remainder of our own dish. Service was quick and ambiance was still classy as usual.“

“We came to Thai Spice on a Wed night. There was no wait and 3 other people seated. They always greet us with smiles, and they are very pleasant. When reading the reviews and looking at the poor quality photos, I think they are getting a disservice.We ordered Chicken Satay and Roti (unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo, so I had to lift one off the internet). The Satay is fresh and delicious. The condiments that come with it are also very tasty.The Roti was warm and flakey. The same peanut sauce that comes with the Satay comes with the Roti. It's thick and not watered down like another reviewer stated.Our entrees were Chicken Ra-Na with Broccoli instead of spinach (the guys favorite-fresh thinly sliced chicken and broccoli perfectly cooked with a thick peanut sauce), Pumpkin Curry - Veggie - medium spicy (always delicious - super fresh and loaded with veggies. The pumpkin squash is cooked so it falls apart in your mouth) hopefully someday it will get back to being served IN the kabocha, ? and Spicy Spaghetti - Veggie - medium spicy (fresh and delicious - think of it as Thai tasty chow mein with lots of delicious healthy veggies and not greasy like chow mein). We ordered white rice and shallot rice. The shallot rice is cooked in the pan with the shallots, so it takes on a crispier texture and darker color.We loved our meal. We didn't appreciate the loud table next to us of two women complaining about the price of the peanut sauce and how they don't eat rice or noodles (not sure why you would come to a Thai restaurant then). But it wasn't the restaurants fault for their lack of situational awareness.We've always loved Thai Spice and have never had a bad meal there or takeout. The pandemic REALLY hurt their business, so please give them a try if you're in the area. ❤️“

“I had dinner here on a Friday night and there was no wait. Parking is not a problem since it's in a big shopping plaza. We promptly got seated and were given menus and water. The restaurant has a nice cozy ambiance. They have an extensive menu of Thai dishes but it is on the pricier side. I ordered yellow curry with soft tofu and a side of white rice. Rice is not included with the entree. You can specify a spicy level. I went with mild and it was perfect. Just a little kick of spice. I really enjoyed the curry! It was flavorful and the curry gravy was nice and thick. I dislike when it's too watery. They also didn't skimp on the veggies which was nice. You are asked to pay at the register. I actually enjoyed this because my friend and I were about to chill and enjoy our meal without feeling rushed and splitting the tab was made easier. Total was about $27 with tip. Definitely recommend checking this Thai restaurant out. It's a hidden gem for south SJ!“

“Good larb and Tom kha soup, ordered via Uber eats and arrived quickly. Only miss is one of the items was sold out but I'm impressed by the service in calling to let me know! Wish they called before delivery arrived but will try again next time!“

“Loved the food, as it is authentic and the recipes are consistent with traditional Thai food.Easy to get a table, people are super nice and make at each step an extra effort to make the clientele happy ☺️Great food, nice people- this is my kind of restaurant!Highly recommend!“

“When you walk in the place it looks pretty modern and fresh. The service is simple, it is what you'd expect. The food is great and is priced reasonably. My favourite was the pad Thai, it had lot of good flavory, sweet and spicy and sour. The papaya salad was also really good as well!“

“We've come here for years and absolutely love it: the food, the kindness, the textiles under glass at each table — and the excellent marvelous food! Thank you, thank you, again and again.Folks using wheelchairs will be pleased to find an easy doir and a couple of table at the front set up for easy accessibility.Lots of veg(etari)an options, easy to eat GF here.“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“
